Adding the 50% zone defeats the purpose of the strategy.

@chewie76, there are many fib strategies. I, and every fib trader I know outside of this forum, use the 50%. I don't trade the swingarm strategy so I can't say if the 50 is appropriate for the strat discussed on this thread. But if the 50 is working for you, I encourage you to continue to study price action in that zone. It can be very profitable!

Best wishes!

Can anyone tell me what the long red and green vertical lines mean? I presume it is a change in momentum but would just like clarification.

That is interesting and simple... when do you get out of the trade? Do you pick a target or just get out when at the MAs crossover?

Mainly using support and resistance levels. First & foremost the lowest zone of the swing arm is the initial stop loss. However, that is obviously only for trades that quickly change direction unexpectedly resulting in a controlled loss. Which again, is not often with the SMA crossover's.

For profit taking, you could use the Swing Arm break or MA crossover as an exit signal, but you will give back some profits always, and possibly in the worst case only basically break even after commissions. I would say a Trailing stop loss would be the best bet, but I don't have much experience with them. Main problem with using other exit indicators is most are too sensitive , so you get "shaken out" of the trade and then the swing arm goes on for another $20-30 after you close the position haha

@ribitzki21490 I assume you're talking about the thick red and green line from the SwingArm indicator? If so, that is the ATR Trailing Stop line.
 
@henry1224 Did you custom create the labels showing momentum on other time frames? Overlaying 2 at a time is nice but that looks great too. Thanks for sharing.
 
I have noticed that there are updated files for members, can you please give us some idea of what the improvements are?
 
@GGC The latest update will contain grid charts, which include everything that Jose is currently using in his setup and the settings/configurations he has on his chart. All you have to do is import it.
 
Can someone please help me get the script for the Singarm Alternate time frame . i want to get two swing arm time frames onto one chart.
Thanks

All of the labels are based on the 10x Indicator from simpler trading, They provide guidance from the higher time frames.

I don't know if the forum administrators would allow for sharing of proprietary indicators? or Indicators that contain sections of proprietary code?
If they allow it , I will share the code.

@technicallydreaming I like the looks of this! Can you share please.

Also, just out of curiosity, is it possible to remove the S2,S3,S4, R1, R2, R3, etc, and only keep the long and short bubbles? The reason why I ask is that I plan to use this with two time frames overlapping each other like everyone else is doing but im not sure is it will be too much clutter with all the extra support and resistance bubbles. Have you tried using this with two time frames on top of each other yet?
 
Here is my version of BlackFlag_SwingArms
  • I changed the fib lines to eighths, extended them to the full range 8 zones
  • I plot it 1 time frame greater than the chart
  • I painted the bars based on my 4EMA Rank short term > long term =Cyan else Orange
  • I also added the SuperTrend
